  Read Manufacturing Consent or any of the books that have been written about the MSM since then. It's very much about old media verse new media. If this were the NYT they'd probably tell Arrington he couldn't run the story because it'd interfere with either their ad sales or else their access to sources. For example, just look at how/why they covered up their knowledge of the warrantless wiretapping until after Bush got reelected. Whereas with Arrington there's no one to tell him he can't do it because it's his blog, and because he's not part of some mega corporation the chances of a story like this killing the revenue of some part of his empire are infinitely lower.
